I have a report with tabbed olap that has drop down boxes for Salespersons. Now, it only shows about 50 salespersons, stopping at the C's.

Is there any way to make it show every single salesperson? I know it will take more time to load, but we need this.

thanks!

Jason K.,

I "think" this is an extension to your previous post.
When I populate list boxes with a fex, I usually do this, using your code:


  
DEFINE FILE LKP_SALESPERSON_MQT
  SLS_NUMBER/A5  = EDIT(SALESPERSON_NUM);   assuming I5
  SLS_PERSON/A33 = (SLS_NUMBER || ' - ') | SALESPERSON_NAME;   assuming SALESPERSON_NAME/A25
END
TABLE FILE LKP_SALESPERSON_MQT
SUM
    SLS_PERSON
  BY SLS_PERSON  
WHERE TEAM_LEADER_DBA EQ '&IBIMR_user';
-* ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END


XML needs both entries for tags;
SET HOLDLIST = PRINTONLY the output will only have one column in the XML and the combo box will not populate as you want it to.

Actually, Tom, the reason I opened this as a seperate post was because I didn't want to confuse this problem with the problem we had in populating a control with a .fex.

What I'm referring to is the simple OLAP dimensions drop downs that show up when you set your report as olap-tabbed. We want ALL values for that field to show up, rather than just 50.

Thanks.

Jason,

Did you know that v7.6.4 appears to have about 20 fixes that deal with OLAP. Maybe this "upgrade/service pack" will fix a number of the OLAP problem you reported.

Well, we've installed 7.6.4, but only around 50 values are showing in our OLAP drop downs.

This has got to be a setting somewhere, right?
